Is Sugar a Drug?

This is an excellent question and comparison that is discussed in a new book, The Case Against Sugar, by Gary Taubes. Full discloser: I have not read the book (though it is now on my To Read list), but learned about it in an excerpt printed in The Guardian. While taking a stance on whether to classify sugar as a drug is a bit out of my scope, I can confidently say that the consumption of foods high in refined sugars can make your teeth more prone to cavities, so be sure to limit your intake of them. And, as always, don’t forget to brush and floss!
